Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's pretty well known China lies about their GDP, it's something close to half of what they claim. Most statistics from China are utter bullshit, they say they only had 60k COVID deaths and it's estimated at over a million in reality.

China is all about saving face, it's kinda like a toddler that lies about everything and everyone just goes "that's nice sweetie" while patting their head and they think everyone believes them.

As an American, I can't imagine how horrible it is to have a leader who lies about everything. It must be rough for those people in China.

While you can absolutely make such interface on Linux, this is most likely a modified XP.

Local media outlets, including the state-run Shanghai Securities News, on July 7 reported Gao’s death, citing anonymous sources. Shanghai Securities News cited an illness, while screenshots of messages bearing his name circulating on social media indicated he had cancer.
